19K Miles and still loving the Alltrack!

I bought my VW Alltrack SE with the DSG dual-clutch transmission in May 2017. Absolutely no issues-which should be expected for a car of this mileage. I love the build quality both in and out of this vehicle. From the hood closing to the gas fill access cover - all very solid! This car punches way above is weight class. It's quick and the handling is precise and confident. Fun, fun, fun to drive! Some of the other reviews have complained about interior space. To me, average height, the interior feels plentiful. I can sit comfortably in the rear seat and there is plenty of headroom. I love the full length sunroof! Fuel economy is not the best, but it beats the Subaru 3.6R and the Volvo wagons. I test drove the Subaru Outback with the 3.6L engine and the Alltrack beats it in all aspects! One reviewer on this site complained about the AWD system on the alltrack reporting inability to move on flat, icy terrain. Guy must be a plant for the Subie crowd. I've owned Subarus and their system is good. But I also know by experience that the 4Motion AWD system works very, very well. I frequently drive to a local ski area with 8% grade the whole way up, ice and some deep snow on the roads at times and I've had no problems even with the factory tires! 4Motion is n excellent system! The Fender sound system paired to the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capable interface is awesome! Going from to car to phone while talking on the phone is seamless. Storage is ample and easy to access. The roof rails are really a pleasure to use. The Outback's roof rails are cumbersome and limiting--the roof rails are one of the reasons I chose VW over Subie. The only complaint I have is the difficult to reach USB port and the lack of other USB ports. But, that's it. I plan to keep this car until it dies. If some of you are right, my Alltrack might die before a Subie would, but I'll have a lot more fun in the mean time! Don't buy a Subie until you test drive the Alltrack. You won't be dissappointed.

VW Alltrack looks good, lacks space

VW Faithful, 11/20/2018
2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack TSI S 4dr Wagon AWD (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

I wanted to like VW Alltrack, as we had good experience with VW Passat and Passat Wagon - we had multiple of those as well. Unfortunately, even though Alltrack looks nice from outside has good manners and seems to be fund to drive and have good lineage and VW heritage, it falls short. This is primary due to lack of space in both front, rear seats and cargo department. The biggest issue is front seat space limitation due steering wheel column limiting foot movement for taller drivers. We enjoyed having Passat Wagon and hope that VW reconsiders its decision and brings its back into US it, or redesigns Alltrack with more space to address growing segment of the market.

Worst all wheel drive system ever

Don’t let the name fool you, this AWD is by far the worst I have ever encountered. Any steep grade or ice conditions will render this vehicle useless. If you think it’s a useful feature, it’s not. We have studded snow tires on the thing and on flat ground (Icey) the AWD system in off-road mode with traction control disabled still can’t be moved forward or backward. In addition, if you are tall 6'.0" and greater don't bother putting a child seat behind you you won't be able to drive the car comfortably and if you ride shotgun and the child seat is behind that will be uncomfortable as well. All in all, buy something else. My other vehicle is a 2015 BMW 328i GT xDrive and it is comfortable, spacious and the AWD performs so much better (which you should expect from BMW).
